You take your wheels off for rainy weather? lol

Those lugs+stock wheels = bad idea. They don't seat right. Factory lugs are acorn seat, whereas "tuner" lugs have a taper seat.

^ ya, better be careful if you're gonna be riding around with tuner lugs.. I'm sure we all saw that rx7 video of his wheels coming off lol

But sick ride.. if you could get your hands on some JDM fogs- game over.

Don't let a little water scare ya man. Car looks to good to swap out wheels. Although I'm sure it makes spring time dinner when you have nice wheels to put on.

Honda/Acura uses ball seat, unless acorn seat is the same thing as a ball seat.

It's diff. Ball / radius vs conical / tapered

But if it's just hard parked for the winter..then all is good and please ignore the last few replies hahaha
